Going to attempt changing out my injectors on my next set of days off. Can anyone tell me everything I'll need to get the job done so I don't have to bum a ride to the parts house? I'd appreciate the info.
 
a set of injectors,,, an install kit,, an injector socket. a few beers, a new fuel filter, don't need that but why not if you in need, and maybe an oil change.

Welcome to the site.
 
Penetrating oil and pull the turbo to get it out of the way. Also a set of glow plugs if they have not been changed. Injectors being out of the way allows you to remove swollen plugs by breaking them off.
 
I guess if I have to move the turbo out of the way, I'll be needing an oil supply line gasket and maybe an o-ring for the return line??

Removing the inner fender liner is easier than removing the turbo ... in the salt belts anyhow.

I did both, but wasn't rushed at all.

The most difficult part of the whole project for me was removing the air filter box from the inner fender. Next time, I think I'll just pull the engine out. That would be MUCH easier than trying to get that poorly designed air box out. I'll bet I had 2-3 hours in removing it.:sad:

Cut the bolt.
No really cut/grind it off. The brass insert as a nut in the rubber - well the rubber doesn't hold the brass anymore. Otherwise you need to get a pair of vise grips on the rubber brass part so the bolt can get free.

Remove the snorkel if equipped. You will see why when it is out...

The turbo oil return uses a gasket. The turbo oil supply is a flair type fitting. You may have to get the return gasket at a dealer. I've left the gasket on, cleaned it and put rtv silicone on it. There is no pressure on it. Only needs to seal.
 
And don't forget to have a short 15mm socket and a wobblie to get that back inside nut off the turbo. And don't let a buddy help you by rounding it off. It's best to have one that is 6 sided so as to grab the flats of the nut and not the points.

Glad I replaced mine as the truck is so smooth now.:D

Thats odd. I only needed two bandaides. And that was to cover the busted nuckle From a few days before. Must have been luck.:D
